Titans' Delanie Walker shows receipts for why he shouldn't get cut

March 13, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

“Draft a (expletive) tight end. He’s still not going to play.”

It’s not hard to recall when Delanie Walker said those words last year as he aimed to come back from an ankle injury suffered in 2018 and prove that the Tennessee Titans didn’t need a new starting tight end.

His eventual return in 2019 lasted for a short time before he found himself sidelined again, with Jonnu Smith left to rise to the occasion.

Smith did just that, and the Titans have another talented name at tight end in Anthony Firkser at their disposal as well.

Now that it’s the offseason and time for the team to make some changes with free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft looming, Walker could be on the chopping block — and he’s well aware of his doubters.

One tweet he hit “send” on showcased that perfectly.

Walker listed stats from the 2014-17 seasons, concluding by saying, “I love the hate just remember I put up them numbers whenever one knew I was getting the ball don’t get it twisted.”

Will the Titans keep Walker on board as they prepare to make another run for the Super Bowl in 2020?

We should get an answer to that question soon.
